Nachkommen von Geörg Strauß

Zweite Generation

From Peter
Jung, June 2002, "M. Dahlhoff, Geschichte der Grafschaft Sayn" within
the village Lipp. It`s a very difficult history, because that village belonged
to Nassau as well as to Sayn and the population was devided. I found two
lists with names of inhabitants and that is the result-Lipp and Burbach
were mixed villages with a lot of nassauische people, only a few saynische
people. In the tax list from 1658 principality of Nassau you find 32 families
in Burbach and Lipp but there is no STRAUS family mentioned - may be they
were not nassauisch or there was no Straus in Lipp and Burbach in 1658.
Unfortunately there is no tax list of the sayn people in 1658.

What I found was a list from 1675 for the sayn
people, a so called "Huldigungsliste" Huldigen is an old german word; huldigen
is "to honor" - people must go to the capital and honor the principal.
3 saynische families in Burbach an 2 at Lipp:

That`s very interesting: The widow, Wilhelm Straus`
mother in law didn`t come to the honor.1. the widow was saynisch2. Wilhelm Straus had no owned property but was
living in the house of his mother in law3. It seems he was not saynisch because he was
not called to honor
